Mi Box & AT&T U-Verse issues

by sappypappy

Checking my router log, my Mi Box keeps dropping nodes. Its making things like YouTube, IPTV, etc buffer. https://i.imgur.com/68oKeMG.jpg

What could this be? I've taken some steps to correct it to no avail. Disabled IPv6 & set the Mi Box to DMZplus. Doesn't help much. This is the only device in the log doing this.

Its running wireless with the router literally right next to it, 5GHz mode. I haven't tried 2.4GHz mode yet & have a USB 3 Ethernet adapter coming so I can see what a wired connection does. Can you guys think of anything else I can try? Really don't wanna switch to another device but will if I have to.

The only other things I would try are:

  • static IP
  • a different wifi security setting (WEP vs WPA1/2)

That is interesting. I have U-verse too. I will have to check to see if the Shield does that same thing.

If the Mi Box is actually sitting within a few inches from the wi-fi router, that can create a problem. If so, try moving it about 2 feet away.

I have AT&T gigabit fiber with a Pace 5268AC gateway, however I'm using my own gear (UniFi Security Gateway and AC APs) and have their gateway in DMZ+ mode. Haven't really noticed any issues since I got everything setup.

Which AT&T gateway are you using? What firmware does it have? Do you notice the issue with any apps other than YouTube or IPTV?
